  1. "Sucks to be him but good for us hes not playing tonight" 😂 ovis humour 😂

  2. If theres a player I'd be okay with breaking one of the Great One's premium NHL records, it's this man. Pure hockey player through and through.
    Imagine he signed with Edmonton during his extension 2 or 3 yrs ago. Lined with McDrai and on the best PP in NHL history, we're not talking about the 892 goal record, we'd be talking about 1000 goals

  3. I recall hearing a story of Ovi giving a warm coat off his back to a homeless person here in Edmonton a few years ago during a cold snap 👍 Lifelong Edmontonian and Oilers fan and not crazy about Gretz giving up records, especially supposedly untouchable ones but I’ll let Ovie slide for the goal record. Having said that, NHL and Ziegler were hypocritical for not allowing Gretzky his pro WHA goals but claiming he wasn’t a Calder(Rookie of the Year) candidate because he played pro previously

  4. Records are made to broken, beating any of Gretzky’s records with so many rule changes and game formats it’s bound to happen, and his will be broken someday too.

  5. This guy aged faster than anyone I've ever seen. Russian steroids are a hellofa drug. His legs were tree trunks when he was 16 he's been on juice forever. He sucked last year, goes back to Russia comes back a goal a game guy 😂😂😂😂😂 I'll nvr cheer for this cheat

  6. I mean he’s right, as much as it sucks for us, it is obviously a good thing for them that they dont have to constantly watch for 97. but the good thing is , we still have draisaitl. So it is what it is and rest up captain and come back even better.

  7. Howdy 🤠👋@Ovie… Welcome to OIL 🏒🥅Town…Love Yah…
    But… Yer Gettin' Beat💪 By Our OILERS 💙🧡🤍Tonight!!!

  8. WOW who is that reporter asking Alex the question THAT was just asked like 1min before that??????IS he that lost? drunk? stoned? or???

  9. Respectfully Russian athletes should not be allowed to play in the FREE WORLD until they get rid of their awful leaderw

  10. Wow! I love that he didn’t say.’ Something like ‘1000 goals? You crazy? I’m old. Maybe Matthews or Mcdavid in twenty years. I’ll be on a Beach somewhere in a year from now. Hopefully 900, but 1000 will be for someone else’. So glad he didn’t say that. Ovechkin wants to continue his career a good while longer than probably most people expect. I love it and Why not. You live once and these are the best years if his life happening right now. Enjoy it and move on like other great 40 something year old legends of the past like Jagr, Messier, Chelios, Selanne, Howe and a few others. When you have talent at ovechkins level and the passion, just ride it out as long as you can. 1000 could happen long before he is 45 even if his play dimishes somewhat.
